Summary
No Illinois data center regulations advanced before the spring legislative session ended June 1, leaving all 21 introduced bills stalled.
Committee hearings drew testimony from utilities, environmental groups, labor, local governments and the Illinois Farm Bureau, showing broad interest but no consensus strong enough to move legislation.
Bill Bodine of the Illinois Farm Bureau said talks are expected to continue, with data center measures able to resurface during the fall veto session.
